"Instead of defining hours per week in contracts with employees, freelancers or virtual workers, you define a commitment level. You don't care how many hours they work, when and where, or how they mix their private and professional lives. The only thing you care about is how much you can count on the contributions, effort and collaboration of your workers, in the projects to which they have been assigned." –Pay People for Commitment, Not for Time or Results

On Sharing Experiences
"…the joy from an unusual experience fades quickly, but the sting of not fitting in because we didn't share an experience with our peers—even a crappy one—lingers."

Macau's Magic Squares
Macau's postal service is releasing a series of stamps based on magic squares. Full set will include the SATOR, and Dürer's Melencolia. Below you see a Nasik 2D geo-magic square of order 3 (all the rows and columns are magic, but so are all six diagonals, including the four "broken" diagonals).

In Defense of Being Angry at Work
"A series of studies highlighted in Human Relations journal (pdf) suggest that expressing anger in the workplace can actually lead to more people acknowledging a problem and getting it fixed. One study the authors highlighted found that negative emotional events in the workplace had a positive outcome 70% of the time. This doesn't mean it's bad to express positive feelings at work—those led to positive outcomes 94% of the time—it just means that a negative emotion doesn't always lead to a negative outcome."

On Obituaries
"Not all obituaries are created equal. As a genre of occasional writing, some are composed without intimate knowledge of the deceased or deep reflection about their contributions. But the best of the obituaries written about these and other towering thinkers command our attention, for they invite us to reckon once again (and ever anew) with the political work and social location of what the historian Christopher Lasch referred to as the "intellectual as a social type." Some are just a paragraph long; others go on for pages. But at their finest, obituaries of intellectuals attempt to resituate these thinkers and their ideas in the historical conditions from which they came and to which they spoke. And they invite us to recall how we put them to work in our own intellectual biographies."

Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming
"I was once in New York, and I listened to a talk about the building of private prisons – a huge growth industry in America. The prison industry needs to plan its future growth – how many cells are they going to need? How many prisoners are there going to be, 15 years from now? And they found they could predict it very easily, using a pretty simple algorithm, based on asking what percentage of 10 and 11-year-olds couldn't read."
Josh Marshall: Flipboard is a Scam Against Publishers?
Josh Marshall on Talking Points Memo's decision to pull out of Flipboard, Google Currents, etc.:
But say you find TPM on Flipboard, decide it's great and add it to your viewing routine on Flipboard. Probably you just keep reading us on Flipboard. Clearly you like Flipboard or you wouldn't be using it. So why would you start visiting TPM? You likely won't. That may be great for you. It's definitely great for Flipboard. But is it great for us? Not really. It boosts my ego, I guess. And more people may know about us. But where and how does that turn into our ability to convert that 'audience' into a revenue stream that allows us to create our product? I don't think it does. Or it does in so in such a trivial and unquantifiable way as to be meaningless.
How does he know that users don't connect the dots back to the site after using Flipboard to discover them? He's basing a ton of his opinion here on that assumption. I know for my own experience, I love using tools like Flipboard, Feedly, etc. to discover new sites, and when I like them I add them to my reader, and I visit those sites and open those links and share the articles I like here and other places. Maybe the majority of users don't convert in that same way. That said, I do understand his issue with the fuzzy logic around how things like reach and brand awareness are benefiting them when their goal is to find revenue streams to keep producing their work. I totally get that.
However, if you're cutting off from your readers in an attempt to own every page view so your banner ads are more valuable (not saying that's his plan, more so pointing out that the plan in general is a bit more traditional and focused on hard data like CTR and direct streams), you're holding yourself back from real potential in terms of both revenue and reader growth. I don't quite get it, despite understanding (and sympathizing with) large-scale digital news sites that are now struggling to manage million dollar solvency issues annually, much like newspapers scrambled to do years ago. It's about a clear-cut cost-based analysis for Marshall, but I'm not sure he's correct as he cuts off values that don't 'directly' influence revenue.

Kierkergaard & the Clown
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.
Woody Allen "What I've Learned"
It's just an accident that we happen to be on earth, enjoying our silly little moments, distracting ourselves as often as possible so we don't have to really face up to the fact that, you know, we're just temporary people with a very short time in a universe that will eventually be completely gone. And everything that you value, whether it's Shakespeare, Beethoven, da Vinci, or whatever, will be gone. The earth will be gone. The sun will be gone. There'll be nothing. The best you can do to get through life is distraction. Love works as a distraction. And work works as a distraction. You can distract yourself a billion different ways. But the key is to distract yourself.

Funeral Homes Keep Typewriters Alive
In an era of apps, tablets and Google Glass, typewriters are still clacking along with the help of an unusual coalition of customers.

The workshop focused on mainstreaming gender in infrastructure projects. It was a part of a regional series sponsored by the Multilateral Development Banks Gender Working Group, that seeks to promote the third Millennium Development Goal (Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women).* It brought together development practitioners from the public and private sectors, government agencies and academia, to build practical, hands-on skills for mainstreaming gender in the entire project cycle. There were over 130 participants, with 80 from African countries and 20 from MDBs and development partners. The format allowed participants to share knowledge and best practices for mainstreaming gender in infrastructure projects across the world, and addressed real-time issues, such as client needs in light of the current international economic crisis. Please scroll down and click agenda tab to see presentation materials from the workshop.
The workshop aimed to:
By mainstreaming gender in infrastructure projects, the ultimate aim is to::
Video Platform Video Management Video Solutions Video Player
The main sectors covered by the workshop were: Energy, Transport, Water and Sanitation, and Irrigation.
The first workshop in this series took place in Manila in the Philippines, in November 2008, under the joint leadership of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. The second was held in Lima in December 2009, under the joint leadership of the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, with the co-sponsorship of the Caribbean Development Bank.
The workshop was designed to give participants the opportunity to learn from successful projects – in the Africa Region, in Latin America, Asia, and Central Europe. The projects which were highlighted focused upon key infrastructure sectors, and there were brainstorming sessions on how participants may integrate best gender practice into their own activities, and to establish a common platform moving forward.
The workshop was sequentially structured as follows:
Module 1 (Plenary 1): Understanding the macro-perspective: Emerging Consensus on Gender and Development: Institutional Perspectives
Module 2 (Plenaries 2 and 3, and simultaneous parallel sessions): Understanding the sector perspectives and learning from experience: Engendering Infrastructure Sectors in Africa: Issues, Challenges, and Good and Innovative Practices in:
Module 3 (Plenaries 4, 5, 6 and Working Groups): The means, tools, and risks to achieve results.Tools for Mainstreaming Gender in Infrastructure Sectors Policies and Projects and Managing Risks
Module 4 (Plenaries 7 and 8): The macro and sector frameworks and good practices to measure results and impacts: Monitoring Gender Equality in Infrastructure Policies and Projects
Module 5 (Plenaries 9 and 10 and working groups): Committing to results and actions for mainstreaming gender into country-level infrastructure programs: Planning for Action
In light of lessons learned at the Manila and Lima workshops, senior level decision-makers from governments and development institutions were invited to participate. In addition to government officials, staff were present from implementation agencies, financing institutions, MDBs, the private sector, civil society organizations, academia, and selected donor organizations. There were more than about 130 participants, with 80 from African countries and 20 from MDBs and development partners.
The MDBs will produce a publication on Gender and Infrastructure. It will include lessons learned, case materials and details of the tools developed as a result of the workshops. In addition, the documentation will be posted on the websites of sponsoring institutions.

So I obviously have a problem here - parts of my coils are icing up! But why just a few? I have replaced my filter, blown out the drainage line, so I suspect it's low on freon. The thing is - it used to completely ice up, and now it's just parts of it, is there debris in the line maybe? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Icing usually starts closest to the refrigerant metering device in the system (orifice or TXV valve) and progresses from there on the vapor line back towards the condenser. That is the first spot refrigerant boils from liquid to gas and absorbs the most heat (producing the lowest temperature). A low charge is a very common cause. |

Hear Vampire Weekend's 'Diane Young' and 'Step,' Fresh Off the New Album
'Modern Vampires of the City' drops on May 7
Vampire Weekend just dropped two songs from their upcoming third album, Modern Vampires of the City (out May 7 via XL).
The New York quartet's latest double A-side single features the recently unveiled "Diane Young" and another cut from the group's highly anticipated new LP, "Step."
"Diane Young," a song SPIN's Jordan Sargent previously described as "an uptempo number with a soft, airy hook," made its official debut today (March 18) on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio show. The radio host briefly spoke with frontman Ezra Koenig, who said he and his bandmates took their time while working on the pending full-length, so they could wait until it was "the freshest thing we could release." He added, "We're really proud and psyched for everybody to hear it."
Fans can pre-order Modern Vampires of the City tomorrow (March 19) through iTunes. Anyone who secures a copy in advance will receive an instant download of "Diane Young." A limited edition 7-inch vinyl version of this fresh one-two punch will become available for purchase on April 9.

I stayed at Bluefish with my mom and cousin for a girls' weekend and we had the greatest time. Lori and Tim run an amazing B&B and made our stay so welcoming and easy and comfortable. Their house is just beautiful- everything from the antiques to how accomodating they were. They helped us with our sightseeing questions and directions. Their house was very quiet and we slept very well. Even their doggy was adorable! The breakfast they served everyday was gourmet restaurant quality (they're both chefs) and filled us up all day long. Coffee was great too. I highly recommend Bluefish for a comfortable and friendly place to stay!

It is a beautiful morning. Again and again the sun rises and it is always new. It never grows old. Scientists say it is millions of years old; nonsense! Every day I see it. It is always new. Nothing is old. But scientists are gravediggers, that's why I say they look so grave, serious. This morning, again the miracle of existence. Each moment it is happening, but only very few, very, very few ever encounter it.
The word encounter is really beautiful. To encounter the moment as it is; to see it as it is, without adding, without deleting, without any editorial work, just to see it as it is, like a mirror.. The mirror does not edit, thank God, otherwise no face in the world would be able to fit its requirements, not even the face of Cleopatra. No face at all would be able to fit the mirror, for the simple reason that if it starts cutting you, editing you, adding to you, it will start destroying you. But no mirror is destructive. Even the ugliest mirror is so beautiful in its undestructiveness. It simply reflects.
Before coming into your Noah's Ark, I was standing looking at the sunrise.so beautiful, at least today - and who cares for tomorrow? Tomorrow never comes. Jesus says, "Think not of the morrow.."
Today it is so beautiful that for a moment I was reminded of the tremendous beauty of the sunrise in the Himalayas. There, when the snow is surrounding you, and the trees are looking like brides, as if they have flowered white flowers of snow, one does not care a bit about the so-called bigwigs, the prime ministers and the presidents of the world, the kings and queens. In fact kings and queens are going to exist only in playing cards, that's where they belong. And the presidents and the prime ministers will take the place of the jokers. They don't deserve anything more.
Those mountain trees with their white flowers of snow.and whenever I saw the snow falling from their leaves I was reminded of a tree from my childhood. That kind of tree is possible only here in India; it is called madhu malti - madhu means sweet, malti means the queen. I have never come across any fragrance that is more beautiful and more penetrating - and you know that I am allergic to perfume, so I immediately know. I am very sensitive to perfume.
Madhu malti is the most beautiful tree one can imagine. God must have created it on the seventh day. Relieved of all the worries and hurries of the world, finished with everything, even men and women, he must have created madhu malti on his day off, a holiday, a Sunday.just his old habit of creating. It is difficult to get rid of old habits.

Campus Highlights
Campus Highlights
- This short video shows some of the historic achievements of the people in Electrical and Computer Engineering, leading up to the 2014 dedication of a state-of-the-art building.
- Hospitals and other health care agencies are at risk of doctors, nurses, janitors and other essential workers walking off the job during an infectious disease outbreak, says a University of Illinois expert in labor relations.
- "Drivers were less likely to be involved in a collision when their remote partner could see what they were seeing," graduate student John Gaspar said. "And this benefit seems to be driven by changes in the way partners talked to the driver." Seeing the driver and watching what was going on in traffic during the conversation allowed the non-driving partner to stop speaking, for example, when something unexpected occurred on the road, or to point out a situation that might be dangerous
- The national advisory committee, on which Dowling will serve a three-year term, advises the Census Bureau on a wide range of variables that affect the cost, accuracy and implementation of its programs and surveys, including the once-a-decade census.
- Scientists have scoured cow rumens and termite guts for microbes that can efficiently break down plant cell walls for the production of next-generation biofuels, but some of the best microbial candidates actually may reside in the human lower intestine, researchers report.
- Scientists have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which estrogen prepares cells to divide, grow and, in the case of estrogen-positive breast cancers, resist cancer drugs. The researchers say the work reveals new targets for breast cancer therapy and will help doctors predict which patients need the most aggressive treatment.
- A new analysis suggests the planet can produce much more land-plant biomass – the total material in leaves, stems, roots, fruits, grains and other terrestrial plant parts – than previously thought.
- The life and times of Illini Nellie; the world-renowned cow that became a icon at the University of Illinois in the 1930s.
- "We're the only clinic in the state that's affiliated with the university. Not many veterinary schools can offer both experiences, and it gives us a presence in Chicago."
- Seven University of Illinois graduate students have been awarded National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate fellowships from the U.S. Department of Defense.
- Researchers developed a new continuous glucose monitoring material that changes color as glucose levels fluctuate, and the wavelength shift is so precise that doctors and patients may be able to use it for automatic insulin dosing – something not possible using current point measurements like test strips.
- Researchers at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new technique that can noninvasively image the pulse pressure and elasticity of the arteries of the brain, revealing correlations between arterial health and aging.
- A new study of 9- and 10-year-olds finds that those who are more aerobically fit have more fibrous and compact white-matter tracts in the brain than their peers who are less fit. "White matter" describes the bundles of axons that carry nerve signals from one brain region to another. More compact white matter is associated with faster and more efficient nerve activity.
- An exhibition of new works by the University of Illinois School of Art and Design faculty will open Aug. 28 (Thursday) at Krannert Art Museum, along with four exhibitions related to the centenary of World War I. A public reception, with cash bar, will be held 5-7 p.m., and the museum will remain open until 9 p.m.
- University of Illinois theatre professor Lisa Dixon prepares to address new students at Convocation on August 22. Her speech, Mix-tape 2018, will feature a variety of music.
- University Housing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has recently earned Green Shield Certification for its Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which relies on common-sense pest prevention techniques to eliminate pest problems through least-toxic methods. It is the second university program in the nation to earn the certification after undergoing a rigorous on-site evaluation by the IPM Institute of North America, Inc.
- Peter Sheldon, lecturer in the Charles H. Sandage Department of Advertising, has received the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Distinguished Teaching Award in the Advertising Division. The award is intended to encourage and recognize individual excellence in undergraduate teaching over a sustained period of time.
- Many service members will arrive in the U.S. to happy reunions. But reunited couples and families will have work to do in the months that follow, says Leanne Knobloch, a University of Illinois communication professor who has studied the relationships of military families post-deployment for about five years.
- Scientists attached radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags to hundreds of individual honey bees and tracked them for several weeks. The effort yielded two discoveries: Some foraging bees are much busier than others; and if those busy bees disappear, others will take their place.
- Researchers have developed a faster and more accurate way to test for infection with Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, a fungus that is killing snakes in the Midwest and eastern United States. The test also allows scientists to monitor the progression of the infection in living snakes.

And most importantly, there's 'hard candy and hard wine for the adults!' plus 'soft candy and soft drinks for the children!' Jeremy Eaton Studios 521 NW 43rd Street

Inner City Romance 200-page black & white 8" x 10" softcover Ships in: February 2015 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now Guy Colwell's Inner City Romance tread new territory for underground comix, filled with stories about prison, black culture, ghetto life, the sex trade, and radical activism. It portrayed the unpleasant realities of life in the inner city, where opportunities were limited and being on the lowest end of the economic ladder meant that one's vision of the American dream was more about survival than lifestyle choices. Readers wondered who Colwell was, whether he was black or white, and how he knew so much about prison. Two years at McNeil Island federal prison for draft refusal provided a personal education for him, as well as his involvement with the San Francisco Good Times underground newspaper, where he became a close observer of the White Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, and anti-war demonstrations. Inner City Romance details Colwell's life on the mean streets. Every issue of Inner City Romance is included in this collection, as well as many of the highly detailed paintings he created at the same time. Colwell recounts in an accompanying text piece, his personal journey to artistic maturity forged by radicalism and frustration.
Our lovely, labyrinthine warehouse continues to offer up unexpected gifts now and again. Last night's Seattle windstorm must have shaken some boxes around, because today we discovered a shiny stack of signed, hardcover editions of Hanging Out with the Dream King! This Gaiman-authorized book collects the stories and interviews of over two dozen creators who've collaborated with award-winning author Neil Gaiman, creator of the critically acclaimed comic book series The Sandman. A must-have for any Gaiman fan, this book also helps support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, as part of all proceeds goes directly to the organization. There is a limited quantity of these books signed by Gaiman, so grab a copy (or two) while you still can!
Terror, stress, aches and fears; all of these vibrate off the page in a Ditko comic from our most recent collection now available digitally on comiXology. Like its predecessors, Impossible Tales: The Steve Ditko Archives Vol. 4 features over 200 meticulously restored full-color pages of Ditko in his early prime - stories that have never seen a proper reprinting until now, thrilling stories of suspense, mystery, haunted houses, and unsuspecting victims all delineated in Ditko's wildly idiosyncratic, masterful style. This fourth volume ranks as the best in the Steve Ditko Archives series to date thanks in large part to the inspiration Ditko took from comics derived from the classic host-narrated radio shows, which gave an extra oomph to his creepy yarns, edited by Blake Bell. All 241 pages of the occult, creepy and fantastic can be yours at the tap of a button and a download on comiXology for only $24.99. Check out the previous three volumes as well. "Fantastic... Raw and grotesque and beautifully drawn and presented." –Dave Gibbons "This exhilarating collection of stories by the comic-book artist who co-created Spider-Man captures all the glorious chills and blood spills from the first two years of his career." –Entertainment Weekly
Intern RJ Casey recently helped index The Complete Peanuts: 1995-1996 (Vol. 23), which inspired him to write this Flog post. There's someone who is too heavy for a blimp, too underground for greeting cards, too cool to be afloat on Thanksgiving. There's someone named Rerun Van Pelt, and he's the only Peanuts character that matters. Charles Schulz created Rerun as a throwaway character in the '70s, good for a couple baby jokes here and there; the youngest Van Pelt was mostly relegated to the background for the better part of two decades. But the background was perfect for Rerun. That's where he sat and observed all the blunders and gaffes everyone around him made in the daily, cyclical rotation. All the blankets, the bullying, the balls missed, the bad hygiene. These weren't mistakes Rerun could afford to make, because he was a different sort of character. In the historic run of strips, Rerun was the only character that evolved into a Midwestern agent of change. Rerun comes from a family of lunatics. At best, his sister Lucy is kind, but only when she's attempting to manipulate anybody on two feet (this includes dogs). At worst, Lucy's manic, often violent outbursts usually land Rerun somersaulting in the snow, or with a broken board game cracked over his head. His evangelical conspiracy theorist brother is no better. When Linus tries to teach his kid brother about the Great Pumpkin and convince him to go door to door to spread the good word, Rerun straight-up bails, because he's not a blind follower to the gourd. Rerun is no hack physiatrist or wet security blanket adherent. He's his own man—a Peanuts punk to his overalled core. Rerun had to learn how to ride solo when Charlie Brown, Schroeder, Shermy and the squad didn't even allow him on the baseball diamond. Not one to be relegated to the bench—especially after he started co-headlining the comic in the '90s—Rerun takes to basketball, a more physically taxing and mentally demanding sport. Though the ball is about the same size as his body, Rerun's handle is sick, and he even occasionally sinks a few buckets. Rerun had to adapt to tough times, like his parents not allowing him to own a dog. He didn't whine or give up. No, he begged, borrowed, and stole until he scammed Snoopy into sending for his brother Spike. When Spike showed up and didn't fit Rerun's strict specifications, he sent him right back to the desert. Although he may not be a Peanuts OG, Rerun Van Pelt is the most intriguing character in the long-running comic strip by far. If you tell me anything different, you might as well be squawking like Miss Othmar, because I'm not hearing it. Rerun won't mind though. He's just going to keep evolving, keep discerning, and keep making those basement comics.
Here at Fantagraphics headquarters, we're managing to keep our feet dry, plus we've got just-arrived advances of Saint Cole to look forward to! This brand new graphic novel by Noah Van Sciver, author of The Hypo: The Melancholic Young Lincoln, stars a painfully flawed protagonist whose drinking becomes steadily more debilitating with each (rain-soaked) day. Saint Cole is on course for a February delivery date. You can read an 8-page excerpt and pre-order your copy here.
This Thursday, December 11th in Los Angeles, don your finest clothes for an art show amongst the stars and the starry-eyed at Roseark. Fantagraphics cartoonist Leah Hayes will have many exquisite paintings and drawings up on display (and for sale) alnog with Mary Ellen Loc and Elisabeth Bell's jewelry (there's talk of shark teeth dipped in fancy things). And while the art will be on display for awhile, the opening is from 4-8pm and you can bet your bippy there will be champagne to drink. Please RSVP by emailing Jill at
See you there! Roseark
1111 N. Crescent Heights Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90046
Don't miss the wild party at Fantagraphics Bookstore this Saturday, December 13 as legendary artist Robert Williams unveils the Complete Zap Comix with an exhibition, book signing and reception from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Join us as we commemorate the 8th anniversary of the bookstore with another memorable holiday gala. From the time it first appeared in 1968 - peddled from a baby carriage on the streets of San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district - R. Crumb's perversely perceptive observations altered the course of American counterculture. Crumb was soon joined by Robert Williams, Gilbert Shelton, Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso, Spain Rodriguez, S. Clay Wilson, and Paul Mavrides. The Complete Zap Comix includes all prior issues plus the previously unpublished 17th issue. A limited number of this sold-out set will be available for sale, along with other subversive publications by Zap artists. This event coincides with the festive holiday edition of the Georgetown Art Attack, featuring visual and performing arts presentations throughout the historic arts community. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale Street (at the corner of Airport Way S.) just minutes from downtown Seattle. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. Phone 206.658.0110. Join us again on Sunday, December 14 at 4:00 PM for the Northwest premiere of Robert Williams: Mr. Bitchin' at Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Avenue on Capitol Hill. This entertaining documentary examines the fascinating career of this influential artist. Williams will introduce the film and answer questions following the screening. See you all this weekend.
152-page full color 6.75" x 10.25" softcover • $19.99 Ships in: February 2015 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now Mel Bowling is the unhappy, out-of-touch creator of a very bad daily comic strip called Freddy Ferret (a cross between Dilbert and Garfield). He spends most of his time listening to Rush Limbaugh and coming up with horrible catchphrases to merchandise, while his "sweatshop" cast of studio assistants grind out all the hard work. Sweatshop is a hilarious situational comedy from acclaimed author Peter Bagge (Buddy Does Seattle, Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story) that ingeniously incorporates the visual styles of cartoonist guest stars like Stephen DeStefano (Popeye) and Johnny Ryan (Prison Pit) to give voice to Bowling's colorful cast of misfit, aspiring cartoonists (plus a cameo by Neil Gaiman!), all attempting to make it big like their boss, but on their own terms. Originally published as a six-issue series by DC Comics in 2003 that was never collected, this is one of the best and most undervalued works of one of the key voices of his generation.
Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell 104-page black & white 7.5" x 10.75" hardcover • $19.99 Due to arrive in 2-4 weeks. Click on thumbnails for larger versions; get more info, see more previews, and pre-order your copy here: |

The last seven days have been relatively quiet in the gaming world - well, other than the continuing demise of GAME - but as always you've been out in full force keeping us laughing, crying and shaking our heads in shame at.
Here's this week's batch of standout comments. Enjoy!
GAME will die this week without £180m rescue - Report
Shame, hope they catch a break.
I know there are many reasons why people hate GAME but to be fair it is one of the specialist retailers that stocks products I am willing to buy.
Good luck GAME.
We're with appyday, the store is more important to the UK industry than most people are willing to admit.
And now something a little lighter from El Mag...
We are gathered here today to pay our respects to the dearly departed Game.
Game has lived an amazing life even though it was rather short. It was the kind of friend that stands by you when you need somebody to be there. It once saved my life. We were both young kids and we weren't very close. I was hastily walking across the street when it saw a speeding car and dived in to save me. The relationship started there.
They had that great scheme back in the day when you could take a game back after 10 days and swap it for another. And they employed that nice looking blonde girl that had a smashing rack. The reward card offer seemed great, prices were fair and you were served with a smile. Everything looked rosy for it.
But then it got cocky, it knew you were going in to see blondie and it started to take advantage. It raised it's prices even though HMV was right next door and cheaper. It got rid of the blonde girl and replaced it with a smelly hippy called Steve who thought he knew everything. And it started to push it's pre-owned games down your neck.
But let's not look back on the bad times, we should remember the good that Game did and helped make this little hobby of ours more mainstream. It will forever be missed but I know in the right time we will meet again.
*Ave Maria plays out*
Good job El Mag
Capcom working with Microsoft to ban SFxTK DLC hackers
If an Aston Martin in the forest falls down, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?<.em>
Hahaha. Er, sorry, shhh plain_kloz_cop, there's an interesting argument going on.
Witcher 2 sex 'isn't gratuitous, it's about creative freedom'
'isn't gratuitous, it's about creative freedom' --I've used that line so many times

Second-hand market 'killing single player games' - Braben
Single player games aren't making enough? What about Skyrim? That game has made a hell of an amount and the reason being is that it is packed with content and well worth the price.
Very good point Scouse Soldier
The Sun warns: 'Fanatics' plotting Call of Duty terrorist attacks
How brilliant would it be if they used Halo for military training? The battlefield would be full of terrorists strafing and jumping!
Run towards your enemy holding fire, then hit melee when you're up close, right verynaughtyboy?
I dread to think what will happen when the terrorists achieve the Tactical Nuke?
Game Over!
Argh! Can't even rage quit, StonecoldMC
Dragon's Dogma video guide - Japan's answer to Skyrim
The video is the first real glimpse I've had of the game and I have to say I'm now very interested in it. Looks like just the right cross of Dark Souls and Skyrim. Looking forward to seeing how it's received by the critics.
Oh, almost forgot. Blaargh!! DLC!!!! RAAAWRR CRAPCOM!! INDUSTRY DOWNFALL and all that good stuff.
The fella at OXM seems to be quite taken with it Niknak106, also BLARRRRGGGHHH!!!
GAME delists itself from stock exchange
Do you also love the smell of people being made redundant and being forced onto the bread line because there are no jobs on the high street?
Don't think anything needs to be added to Weezer's response and...
OK guys. I put my hands up. I apologise. Someone posted something about thinking before posting? Bang on.
It was meant in jest and not intended to offend but I accept now that it was probably insensitive and inappropriate. I do feel remorse for those who are at risk of losing jobs but I feel nothing for GAME's management and shareholders. That was the meaning of my remark and my own failure to make this clear was, I now see, a clear oversight.
I enjoy my time here on cvg and don't want to jeopordise this so I hope this apology can go some way to mending fences.
Again, I apoligise for the offence I have caused and regret my un-targetted and un-warrented poking of fun. If anyone here has been personally affected please feel free to pm me for a personal apology.
Thank you.
Well done for apologising me4pd, hugs all around
6 potential bidders for GAME UK - report
Virgin should buy them. Branson's dead on and know's what the f**k he's doing. It'd be a BIG new line of enterprise. Win/win I reckon.
Hmmm, interesting Imaduck

Just sayin'!

BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.

As the saying goes, when at first you succeed at feeding people taco fillings inside a shell made from a popular brand of chips, try it again and see if you can get more people to buy your food. At least, that must be a motto at Taco Bell, which could be following the success of the Doritos Locos line of taco fare with a new Fritos shell. [More]
Taco Bell Might Be Trying That Whole "Chips As A Taco Shell" Thing Again, This Time With Fritos
Best Buy Also Has Better Things To Do Than Eat Turkey, Will Open At 5 P.M. On Thanksgiving
We've been here before; it's all so familiar! Ah, yes. That's because we just wrote earlier today that RadioShack will open its doors at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, and yesterday that Target would open at 5 p.m. and so on and so forth.

Urban Outfitters Shocks Absolutely No One By Selling, Then Pulling Socks Featuring Hindu Deity
Oh, Urban Outfitters, must we count the ways in which you've bumbled into offending large groups of people through your products? There was the army vest, prescription pill bottles as shot glasses, the shirt that made people think of the Holocaust and many others.

After shutting down and stranding passengers for about two hours, it took almost week for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, Calif. to tinker around with its Superman Ultimate Flight roller coaster and get it back in operation.

Pity the fool who wanders into the bicycle lane on a German city sidewalk: The red-brick paths are considered mini-autobahns by riders, and an errant pedestrian will get the dressing-down of a lifetime, or worse. For cyclists, however, it's an ideal situation: Berlin alone spends $7.7 million a year on cycling paths and facilities, and bikers can get across the city fast and safely. Combine this infrastructure with an innovative pay-as-you-go bike-rental system, Call a Bike, that has spread to Munich, Frankfurt, and Cologne, and the result is a budget traveler's delight (12 cents per minute up to a maximum of $23 per day). Telephone registration involves little more than giving credit card information; from then on, bikers pick up and ditch cycles whenever and wherever they want, entering a code to open and close the lock or pick up a new bike. (You'll need a cell phone to call the central switchboard.) The distinctive silver-and-red Call a Bike bicycles are all over the city, at most major intersections and at train stations. Tired of pushing the pedals? Just lock up the bike to a secure signpost or lamppost. It feels like the sunny side of socialism, albeit one you have to pay for. Paris has its own version, launched in 2007, called Vélib, but it's priced to encourage short trips: After you pay a $2 daily fee, the first half-hour is free, but prices go up sharply if you keep a bike more than an hour at a time.

Home Server Recommendations
I currently own a HP Mediasmart EX485 running Windows Home Server v1 which up to about a year ago hasn't really worked for what I am looking to do. The Windows backup works great and Time Machine was working great until Apple changed the network protocol used for networked backups. I have a mixed household with Macs and PCs. I also store Media and files on the server as well. I am looking for a simplistic automated solution to backup 2 Macs, 2 PCs to a central local server then offsite them to some online solution. I also will store 1080p Mp4 files to stream to various devices locally and remotely. I have struggled this for a few months and honestly keep hitting a hurdles. Any ideas? |
Bonkey [google.com] perhaps. It is a simple backup solution for both Windows and Mac.
JaBack [hiteksoftware.com] as well has both solutions for Windows and Mac. Once you back those up to a central location on your server, then you can use some online storage solution to upload it to the cloud from that central location in whatever intervals you want. Google Cloud, Amazon Cloud, whichever. |
Crashplan for backups - Backup to a central "server" in house, then backup that server to the "cloud" Crashplan does both.
As for the server, you can try and run WHS with crashplan (sounds like the only reason you're not happy with it is lack of time machine backup). If it works you are all set. There are lots of linux solutions that can do what you're asking for, and crashplan works on those too. |
Steve Gibson on password policies [grc.com]: I mean, I don't get this change it every eight weeks. ... It's not as if passwords are traveling by camel after they've been stolen, going to the bad guys, and so there's, like, some weird eight-week window, like, oh, we're going to change your password so that the stale password no longer works. ... And all this does is make IT people despised because users, who are not dumb, they think, why am I - why do I have to do this? What problem is this solving?
I use Ubuntu Server as my backup computer. I use Robocopy to copy files from my computer to the backup server.
I don't tend to back up my system. Way I see it, chances are if I'm at a point where my system is borked enough to require a restoration, said borked settings are probably also backed up, in which case I'd just opt for a clean install (or install from an image in good standing, which is easy enough to create with the many tools out there, like PING). |
Time Machine isn't the greatest anyway, look for a cloning solution. I use Carbon Copy Cloner for OS X, but it has now turned into a pay only software. SuperDuper might be an alternative to look at.
I do not currently know of any online backup solutions that will backup 1TB+ from your server that are a reasonable price (<$100/yr). If the only reason for not liking your current server is lack of time machine support, that's not a good enough reason. Look to alternatives as posted above. If you are looking to upgrade your server for some other reason and need a new one wait for deals on the N40L.
What I do with the win 8 clients is ghost my intial install partition (win, a/v, office and various apps and utilities so I can do fresh install skipping labor of major apps if needed. that works better than WHS native. And do weekly automated back up documents folders to the Win8 "server." |
If you really want time machine, then you'll need to get something from Apple. You'll never be satisfied with 3rd party solutions. Don't take my word for it, Google for the horror stories of trying to restore from 3rd party time machine backups.
So I am not a WHS detractor. I was a very early adapter, and a long time booster. My point is there are many better back up methods now a days, more robust client side to either NAS, external or even partitions on another win8 machine. You do know that not only OSX, but indeed win 8 machines cant be properly backed up on a WHS vi1 or v2? Y

Media Contact: Ann Blackford, 859-323-6363, x230
LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 13, 2009) - Ann Smith has been named chief administrative officer for the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital, after serving in that role on an interim basis since September 2008. Smith reports to Dr. Richard Lofgren, UK HealthCare's vice president for healthcare operations and chief clinical officer.
Smith is assuming responsibility for inpatient services provided at the 489-bed regional referral center located on the university's campus in Lexington. She has extensive experience in hospital operations and administration, serving for seven years prior to her interim appointment as an associate hospital director at UK Chandler Hospital with administrative and fiscal oversight of perioperative services, the UK Transplant Center, Center for Advanced Surgery, the Kentucky Neurosciences Institute, cardiovascular services, digestive health services and orthopaedics.
"As the flagship of the UK HealthCare system, Chandler Hospital poses perhaps our greatest opportunity and our greatest challenge," said Lofgren. "Given Ann's proven dedication to UK and Chandler Hospital and her well-established working relationship with the hospital's faculty physicians and staff, we are fortunate to have in her a leader who already understands the hospital's enormous potential and can quickly move to meet its challenges."
Smith, a 1977 graduate of the UK College of Allied Health (now Health Sciences), began her career as a registered medical technologist in UK's hematology clinical laboratory. After serving in a variety of roles within the clinical laboratory and completing a master's degree from UK's Martin School of Public Administration, Smith was promoted to lab manager. In 1999 she was appointed diagnostic services director and then in 2002 she became an associate hospital director.
Her leadership of UK Chandler Hospital will include overseeing the operations of Kentucky Children's Hospital, Markey Cancer Center, Gill Heart Institute and other services. These areas support the activities of more than 800 UK physicians representing a broad spectrum of subspecialty care, including a Level I adult and pediatric trauma center, a Level III neonatal intensive care unit, accredited stroke and epilepsy centers and a number of other advanced clinical services providing care to people from throughout Kentucky and beyond.
"These are truly challenging times for leaders, especially leaders of hospitals and other health care institutions," Smith said. "Even so, I'm a fervent believer in UK Chandler Hospital and its clinicians and staff, and I have the privilege of leading a great institution to becoming an even greater institution as we open a new state-of-the-art hospital that will set the standard for acute care in Kentucky. I couldn't be more enthusiastic and ready to show the community what I've known all along - Chandler Hospital provides excellent care to people with very serious medical issues."
Smith assumes leadership of more than 3,000 employees, an operating budget of more than $400 million and services to patients, which encompassed 46,000 emergency department visits and 26,000 patient discharges last year.
The Lexington resident is a native of Columbia, Tenn. She is married and has two daughters. The elder is a student at UK and the younger is a student at Northern Kentucky University.

The CBB predicts that Arizona State will win the Regional fairly easily.
DALLAS - The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) released the Pro-Line Athletic National Player of the Week awards for the period ending May 15, today. Arizona State junior outfielder Matt Spencer was named National Hitter of the Week, while Central Connecticut State junior left-hand pitcher Matt Gianini was named National Pitcher of the Week. The NCBWA Board reviews candidates from each Division I conferences each week and names winners each Tuesday throughout the season. Spencer helped lead Arizona State to a huge weekend sweep of conference-rival UCLA. The Morristown, Tenn., native was 9-12 (.750) on the weekend, with a double, a triple, two home runs, seven RBIs, six runs scored and two hit by pitches. He also made two pitching appearances and played stellar defense all weekend, making several highlight reel catches and throwing a runner out at home. Spencer started the weekend going 4-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored as the Devils erased a 14-7 deficit to claim a 16-14 victory on Friday night. He came up huge on Saturday, homering twice and recording the game-winning hit, a bases loaded walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth that completed another ASU comeback. Sunday his two hits helped ASU once again rally from behind, as he knocked in the tying run in the seventh inning, completing a seven run comeback that ended with an 11-10 Sun Devil victory and the three-game sweep. Gianini had a dominant effort in CCSU's 13-0 win over Wagner in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday. In tossing his second consecutive shutout, the West Haven, Conn., native allowed just three hits and struck out 11 to pick up his third victory of the season. He fanned eight straight Seahawk batters at one point, all swinging, including striking out the side in the fifth and sixth innings. Gianini permitted just one runner to reach second base in the contest. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings and has struck out 20 while walking just four in his last two starts. In the two shutouts, no opposing runner has reached third base and only two have occupied second base. With this week's honor, Gianini automatically is named to the watch list for the Roger Clemens Award, given to the national collegiate pitcher of the year, sponsored by the Greater Houston Baseball Organization. Fort Worth-based Pro-Line Athletic supplies the official cap to more than 100 Division I college teams and official uniforms and team wear to six Division 1 college teams. This is the third season Pro-Line has sponsored the NCBWA's Players of the Week. The sponsorship provides for plaques to be awarded to each of the weekly winners and other promotional consideration.
